Pins and needles

My skin seems to be fitting a bit better today – I’ve been putting on the hand cream to stop them drying up which seems to have helped. I didn’t have much energy yesterday, the first day after stopping the dexamethazone is always a bad day. Today I have a bit more energy, but I keep getting sharp pins and needles in different parts of my face and arms. I will see how it is tomorrow and if it carries on, I will have to speak to the Myeloma team to get some advice. It is probably to do with the increase in the Thalidomide which effects the nerve endings.

About

This site in general is about my life since I found out I had cancer. I found out I have a rare form of cancer called Myeloma and decided to create this blog to keep everyone informed. I am going to grow the site so that it covers other things as well and see where it goes.

As a quick overview, I've now had two Stem Cell Transplants/Bone Marrow Transplants. One with my own cells given back and one with a sibling donor.
